some Points About How Various
Rats Affect she hair.
In Popular Science Monthly for May,
W. O, Gouinlork thus speaks of CHATS as
A Cause of Badness: The habit of
wearing warm coverings on the head IL
not of recent date; the armies OF Europe
for instance, no inconsiderable number
Of men, with heads close cropped, have
worn for long period warmer and
heavier head-gear than the modern dwell
ers in cities, without the same tendency 10
badness. Nor are the heavy fur cover
inss Of northern races incompatible with
luxuriant hair. It is also difficult TO
understand what injury can result
from close cutting, per Sc. The
growth is in the hair-follicle, and in II
alone; there is no vital connection be.
tween the hair outside the scalp and
within; it is usually cut closest at the
back Of the head and neck, where bald
ness never occurs. Would not close cut
ting rather stimulate the growth by ex
posture of hescalp2 Such at least is the
popular belief. So, too, with indoor life:
women, who ought to show 1t most,
whether in the home or in the factory,
are never bald as men are on the con-
trary, il is most common with men in
| good circumstances, as Mr.. Eaton's sta
| tistics show, men who spend larger pro
| portion of their daytime in the open oil
1 than the indoor worker.
|. Ibelieve the common form Of badness
is due entirely to the kind OF hat that II
worn, principally to the high hat and tn
hard felt hat, but also to any other head
covering that constructs the blood-yesseli
which nourish the hair-bulbs. To have
clearer understanding Of this, we mus
remember that the scalp is supplied witt
blood by arteries at the back, sides am
front of, and lying close to, tn
skull, which diminish in size by frequen
branching as they converge towar'
the top Of the head. They are in mos
favorable position to be compressed
lying on unyielding bone and covered b
thin tissue. Consider what effect muf
be produced by elose-fitting, heavy
and rigid hat; its pressure must lessen
a certain extent the flow of arterial BLOOD
and obstruct TO greater extent the r.
turn of the venous; the result being
sluggish circulation in the eapillari'
around the hair follicles and bulbs,
consequent impairment of nutrition, an
final atrophy. This pressure is not trivi
or imaginary, as any one will admit WI

No man, we think, ever equaled Sydney
Smith in the wit of extravaganza. he
understood better than any other the
artistic use of exaggeration Mere ex-
aggeration is not wit; nor can we lay
down any law for making it become SO. It
succeeds, when it does succeed, not by
rule or method, but by certain natural
happy instinct, impossible TO apalyze,
but which acts by intuition. It was in
this faculty that Sydney Smith excelled
all men. We will take few examples:
The Scots would have you believe
they can ripen fruit; and to be candid
must own that in remarkably warm sum
mers 1 have tasted peaches that made
most excellent pickles" Part Of the
effect of this is due, no doubt, to the arr
with which it is expressed-to its air o.

She was resting her cheek on her hand,
and her eyes were full of of contem.
plation. She is pretty, isn't she ?" said
he. "By Jove, I'm falling in love with
that girl. l wonder who the fellow is
she's thinking about? say, wouldn't il
be pleasant to think q pretty girl like
that could sit and dream about You as
she's dreaming about somebody let's

walk slowly past. The maiden was still
wrapped in contemplation, and rs they
passed her companion said quite dis
tinctly 'Now, Emily, this is all foolish
